Christopher Denzler, LMHC

Christopher Denzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana who brings eight years of clinical experience to his work. He earned a Master of Arts in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2013 and holds specialized training as a Credentialed Sexually Abusive Youths Counselor (CSAYC) since 2017. The LMHC credential indicates formal licensure to provide mental health counseling in Indiana and reflects graduate level training and supervised clinical hours.

Christopher has worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, including those involved with the Department of Child Services and juvenile probation systems. His caseload has included trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, anger and domestic violence, addiction, grief and loss, parent-child relationship concerns, communication problems, and personality disorder presentations. He also addresses issues such as intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Drawing on an eclectic, strengths-based, trauma-informed framework, Christopher adapts evidence-based techniques to each client. He has applied Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, other cognitive behavioral methods, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and creative modalities like art and play therapy to support healing and practical change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christopher often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into his work, which focuses on helping clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to actions that support a meaningful life. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another key approach he uses to explore how early relationships influence current patterns. This work helps clients and families improve connection, repair relational ruptures, and build more secure interactions over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for issues like depression, anxiety, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and he tailors methods over time to match what is most helpful for each person and family.

Online therapy allows Christopher to offer flexible care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while still working with licensed professionals trained in these therapeutic methods.
